ARC: clone syscall to setp r25 as thread pointer

2018-10-13T07:11:34+00:00

commit c58a584f05e35d1d4342923cd7aac07d9c3d3d16 upstream.

Per ARC TLS ABI, r25 is designated TP (thread pointer register).
However so far kernel didn't do any special treatment, like setting up
usermode r25, even for CLONE_SETTLS. We instead relied on libc runtime
to do this, in say clone libc wrapper [1]. This was deliberate to keep
kernel ABI agnostic (userspace could potentially change TP, specially
for different ARC ISA say ARCompact vs. ARCv2 with different spare
registers etc)

However userspace setting up r25, after clone syscall opens a race, if
child is not scheduled and gets a signal instead. It starts off in
userspace not in clone but in a signal handler and anything TP sepcific
there such as pthread_self() fails which showed up with uClibc
testsuite nptl/tst-kill6 [2]

Fix this by having kernel populate r25 to TP value. So this locks in
ABI, but it was not going to change anyways, and fwiw is same for both
ARCompact (arc700 core) and ARCvs (HS3x cores)

ARC: Enable machine_desc->init_per_cpu for !CONFIG_SMP

2018-08-24T11:26:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2f24ef7413a4d91657ef04e77c27ce0b313e6c95 ]

machine_desc->init_per_cpu() hook is supposed to be per cpu
initialization and would seem to apply  equally to UP and/or SMP.
Infact the comment in header file seems to suggest it works for
UP too, which was not the case and this patch.

This enables !CONFIG_SMP build for platforms such as hsdk.

ARC: Re-enable MMU upon Machine Check exception

2017-09-27T09:00:16+00:00

commit 1ee55a8f7f6b7ca4c0c59e0b4b4e3584a085c2d3 upstream.

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

ARC: [arcompact] handle unaligned access delay slot corner case

2017-02-01T07:30:53+00:00

commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 upstream.

After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we
pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual
branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken).

Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the
BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned
exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return
path (in case interrupt was acive too)

One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup
for kernel mode accesses as well

ARC: timer: rtc: implement read loop in "C" vs. inline asm

2016-11-18T09:48:34+00:00

commit 922cc171998ac3dbe74d57011ef7ed57e9b0d7df upstream.

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.

arc: don't leak bits of kernel stack into coredump

2016-10-28T07:01:32+00:00

commit 7798bf2140ebcc36eafec6a4194fffd8d585d471 upstream.

On faulting sigreturn we do get SIGSEGV, all right, but anything
we'd put into pt_regs could end up in the coredump.  And since
__copy_from_user() never zeroed on arc, we'd better bugger off
on its failure without copying random uninitialized bits of
kernel stack into pt_regs...

arc: unwind: warn only once if DW2_UNWIND is disabled

2016-08-10T09:49:25+00:00

commit 9bd54517ee86cb164c734f72ea95aeba4804f10b upstream.

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
----------------->8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
----------------->8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.
